Well christmas showed up a bit late this year but its ok. I recieved my TCS shocks today after waiting a month for them. The fronts are my old PEP shocks converted to ZPS and i had compression adjustable rezzy's added. The rear is their ZPS stock shock mod. Any questions feel free to ask!

The rear ZPS conversion price was just a bit over $400

I have yet to ride them, i hope to on sat. if i get the quad put back together. The fronts are dual rate plus the ZPS spring, and the rear has the single main spring plus the ZPS spring. Hope that helped!

To have the front shocks turned into ZPS it can very from shock to shock i was told. It depends on if you need all new springs, they did not have to replace my main spring on the fronts so that kept the cost down. Here is an exact cost breakdown of my shocks

Rear Conversion kit: $310
Bottom out bumper: $20
Eibach spring: $90

Front shocks:
TCS piston kit and revalve: $200
Adjustable compressoin rezzy's: 160
TCS tender spring: 22.50
TCS ZPS spring: 22.50

The rezzy's are optional so you could take 160 off the bill if you dont want them

I shipped these out on the monday after turkey day and just received them today, they said this is the busiest they've ever been.

would it work if i removed the upper zps like spring on my ohlins Moto shokcs and put on the tcs zps spring? cuz i would like my quad to sit a little bit lower than it does

fasterz i think it would be best to get them Sent out your moto ohlin shocks to TCS or maybe DRS and set it up for your quad and put tripple rate and ZPS on there :) it probably wont be much and will be a lot worth it

From my understanding of ZPS and how it was explained to me you can't just put a ZPS spring on it. The valving has to be changed in the shock itself. Also the other springs need to be stiffer to accomadate for the ZPS spring. I hope this helped

Well i got to ride it a bit a few days ago, it handles awsome! Rides is smooth and plush. I went off a drop off of about 5 ft it soaked it right up. I went to go ride yesterday but i melted a hole in my Magura clutch so i'm out until i get a new line.
